CUSHION on rrnnoyv covert.

Application filed March 17, 1928. Serial No. 262,448.

This invent-ion relates generally to cnshions, and has more particular reference to a novel pillow or sofa cushion cover.

The invention has for an object the provision of a device of the class mentioned which 'npie and durable con's"iict,i i1, desirable and ciiicient in action, which can he man ufactured and sold at a 1 tenable cost. The device is preferably made of velvet of various colors, lined with georgette, designed and trimmed with binding strips, though it should be clear that the device is not limited to these particular materials.

The device consists of a pair of transverse end discs covered with velvet, and attached to the gathered edges of bands which are in turn attached to the edges of adjacent bands for forming the outer layer of the device. All of these bands are cut open on their rear sides, and certain of these bands have their front port-ions cut away, and pointed pocket j oiners, secured in place of the cut away parts. A lining forming an inner layer is secured Within the outer layer. A means is also provided to connect the rear side band ends.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a device constructed according to this invention.

Fig. 2 is a bottom View thereof.

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary vertical sectional View, taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary longitudinal vertical sectional view, taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary longitudinal vertical sectional View, taken on the line 66 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 7 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 2, but illustrating a modified form of the device.

Fig. 8 is another similar view, illustrating a further modified form.

Fig. 9 is a fragmentary sectional View,

edges 12 of bands 13 cut'open on their rear sides so as to have ends14. Pieces of tape 15 completely encircle the bands 13 at portions adjacent the material 11 for forming reduced pillow ends. Pointed pocket joiners 16 have linings 17 secured to their rear sides, and these linings are connected together as at 18, and secured at their endsto the front portions of the bands 13, as indicated by numeral 19, so as to form a longitudinal series of pockets 20 extending between the bands 13. A plurality of transverse strips 21 are secured together along their adjacent edges by stitches 22 so as to form transverse pleats 23, and also similarly secured to the edges of the bands 13. These strips extend from the sides of the. pocket joiners 16 to the rear, and here align with the ends 14 of the bands 13. Thisstructure forms the outer layer of the device.

The inner layer consists of a lining 24 completely covering the inner side of the outer layer.

A tape 25 is secured to one of the edges 14, and a second tape 26 to the other edge 14. Snap fastener sockets 27 are attached to the tape 25, and complementary snap fastener studs 28 are attached to the tape 26.

It should be noticed that a cushion cover has been formed, provided with an opening 14 thru which a cushion or other similar article or material may be entered. This opening may then be closed by the fasteners 27 and 28. The pleats 23 are held closed by the lining 24. The pockets 20 may be used for general purposes.

The modification illustrated in Fig. 7 dis closes sliding fasteners 30 used for closing the opening 14.

In Figs. 8 and 9 a means has been shown for fastening the edges of theopening 14' together in different relations for changing the size of the cushion cover. Strips of cloth 31 are secured at one of their ends to the material surrounding the opening 14, and

the other ends of the strips are provided with snap fastener sockets 27 on their top sides, and hooks 32 on their bottom sides. A plurality of complementary members 33 for the hooks to engage with are secured to the material adjacent the opening 14. The books 32 may be engaged to different members 33 for changing the position of the socket member 27. These socket members are engageable by snap fastener stud members 28 on the opposite side of the opening 14.

While I have shown and described the to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming Within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent 1. A cushion cover, comprising a pair of transverse end'discs, material covering these discs, bands With gathered edges secured to the discs, a plurality of pointed pocket joiners extending longitudinally between the bands, these joiners being secured to linings connected with each other transverse strips secured to each other and to the said bands, and the said bands and strips being formed With an opening on their rear side. 2. A cushion cover, comprising a pair of transverse end discs, material covering these discs, bands with gathered edges secured to the discs, tape encircling the hands adjacent the said material for forming reduced pillow ends, a plurality of pointed pocket joiners extending longitudinally between the bands, these joiners being secured to linings connected With each other, transverse strips secured to each other and to the said bands, and the said bands and strips being formed With an opening on their rear side.

In testimony whereof I have afiiXed my signature.
